Too Dangerous

I decided that it was too dangerous this morning to get out. For all intents and purposes, the roads in my neighborhood are, with the exception of the main arterials, one-lane roads. Many of the cars which were parked on the street on Friday night are still in the same spaces, and so the plows can't get the whole street. In addition, the only place anyone shovels between the sidewalk and the street is in their driveway; there is a 3 to 6 foot tall snowbank between the street and the sidewalk. When a car comes along on one of these side streets, there's nowhere for me to go. It was tough enough walking to the train this morning, running would have been quite a hazardous thing to do. Over the next two days, we're supposed to get somewhat warmer weather. Hopefully the salt will have some effect on the snow, and the streets will get back to their pre-storm width.

Of course, if I had a membership at a health club, I could run indoors on a treadmill (ugh!), but that's really not in the budget just yet.
